People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke

Not defending them, but if I can't afford a tank of gas I likely can't afford a whole new car. Hell I can afford a tank of gas and I still can't afford a new car.

For a while, with state and federal rebates, new EVs were ridiculously cheap but a lot of people didn't realize it. My brother leased a Nissan Leaf for my niece for $100 a month. I realize leasing isn't for everyone, but $100 a month for a car for a teenager is pretty damn reasonable until she can afford to buy something for herself.

They're insanely cheap RIGHT NOW. lol

You can get a used 2018-2020 Tesla (or any other brand) for $25k and then $4k back through a tax credit.

But then you'd have to buy a Tesla.

Which is awesome 😎.

Ceo sucks but he bought a business that makes great cars (once you make sure yours doesn't have the notorious panel gaps).
